Kirchhoff's first law states that the current flowing into a junction, in a circuit or node, must be equal to the current flowing out of the junction or node.

The majority of invasion events occur with a typical forward rotational progression of the parasite through a static junction into an invaginating host cell plasma membrane.

However, for some (3,3)–(3,3) junctions and X-junctions formed by (5,0)–(5,0) nanotubes, the bonds at the junction region break and are reconstructed, which results in the transformation of a 3-D junction into a 2-D type.
